Calculated amounts of oxygen can be conveniently introduced into laboratory fermentations by allowing oxygen to diffuse through the walls of silicone tubing immersed in the fermenting medium. The influence on the oxygen diffusion rate of changes in the medium itself, and of the flow‐rate of gas through the tube, are described.
